With its preliminary calendar nearing the tail end, PLDT got a massive boost in the standings with a quick 25-20, 25-17, 25-19 victory against Farm Fresh in the PVL All-Filipino Conference on Tuesday at PhilSports Arena.

“We’re happy that our wins continued from the last game. We always remind ourselves to avoid complacency and be more consistent,” said coach Rald Ricafort. “We’re also glad that almost everyone stepped up, no matter who was on the court.

Hopefully, we can carry this into the next game … it’s going to be a big one,” Ricafort added referring to PLDT’s next opponent which is undefeated Creamline.

Savi Davison was at her usual peak form with 26 points from 23 attacks and three blocks with Mika Reyes also lending a hand with 10 points off nine attacks and an ace allowing the High Speed Hitters to move to No. 3 with a 6-3 record.

Young playmaker Angge Alacantara dished out 12 excellent sets while Kath Arado caught 16 excellent digs and Fiola Ceballos had 11.

The Foxies tried to keep up with the High Speed Hitters in the third frame to somehow extend the match until 14-all, before PLDT turned up the heat to a 21-17 advantage.

Trisha Tubu managed back-to-back points off the block but was not enough for Davison’s late game rampage with a 4-0 run to doom Farm Fresh to a 4-5 record.

No Foxie stood out, not even Tubu who only finished with nine points.

PLDT looks for a third straight win, albeit a tall order up next in the shape of the Cool Smashers on Feb. 15 at Ynares Antipolo. Creamline is also up next for Farm Fresh on Feb. 11 in the same Pasig City venue.
